Curses were a social gameplay aspect of Lara Croft: Relic Run. Everyone who connected to facebook through the game could buy curses they could then send to their friends. If the player died during the curse, the one sending the curse would get coins as a reward, but if the player would survive the curse, he would be rewarded those coins.
The curses could be avoided with an item called "Onyx Turtle Charm" which cost 350 coins.
There were two achievements related to the curses: "Survivor", which meant surviving 10 curses, and "Hex-agon", where the player need to send all six different curses to friends.
When the game went through an overhaul, the curse system was removed from the game, as were the achievements related to them.
